Blue Solar Monkey

Seal 11

Monkey · Chuen

Whoever plays sees through appearances

Action playPower magicEssence illusion

The Blue Monkey is the seal of play. Its action is to play, its essence is illusion, its power is magic. In play, we take forms seriously and at the same time keep them light. The Monkey perceives that much of what seems rigid is only an agreement, and precisely there lies its freedom: whoever recognizes illusion can play with it instead of being led by it. Magic here means the wonder when something falls into place in a surprising way. Blue is the color of transformation, and humor is one of its lightest forms. The Monkey belongs to the process time cell, the Cardinal Earth family, and the Truth Clan. In the planet holon it corresponds to Venus, in the solar-prophetic flow. In Hunab Ku 21, it carries the archetype of the Magician, who knows how to tell appearance from essence. The Monkey invites you to take your inner child seriously and to open the day playfully.

Tone 9

Solar

With a steady pulse toward the purpose

Action pulsePower intentionEssence realizing

Question How do I attain my purpose?

The Solar tone gives the project momentum. Its action is to pulse, its power is intention, its essence is realizing. Just as the Sun emits light in a steady pulse, intention works here like a continuous engine that carries the project forward day after day. Its question is: How do I attain my purpose? It takes up the question of the first tone and carries it into practice. The Solar tone belongs to tones 1, 5, 9, and 13, in which the color of the wavespell’s seal recurs; with it begins the third quarter of the wavespell, in which the project is realized. In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and four dots. Nine is the largest single-digit number, a sign of a ripening that comes close to completion. The Solar tone invites you to keep your intention alive and to give it form through regular action.
